How to choose the terrazzo for the bathroom?
Terrazzo is a coating made from cement – tinted or not – to which aggregates are added. It therefore offers a dizzying palette of colors, and it is sometimes difficult to make a choice. To select the right model, three main criteria must be taken into account:
- The surface that the terrazzo will cover;
- The colors of the bathroom;
- The type of decoration you want to achieve.
Powder pink, lavender or water green are refined shades that are among the major color trends for 2023. If you are planning to adopt them in the bathroom, there is no doubt: it is gray terrazzo, with a muted and raw hue. , what you need to sublimate them!
Sunshine yellow and burning orange: do you love the dynamic colors? A white terrazzo will make the bathroom decor breathe. For the pattern, choose medium to large sized aggregates, the color of which is reminiscent of the furniture.
In large format, the terrazzo pattern is ideal for energizing a small bathroom. In the white bathroom, all colors are allowed. On the other hand, if you associate it with another color, make sure that it is found on the terrazzo: your decoration will be more peaceful and more elegant.
The advantage of terrazzo is that with it, there is no need to overdo it: it just has to dress the backsplash of the washbasin to give character to the bathroom. On a small surface, it is better to choose a small aggregate, in order to maintain harmonious proportions.
If gray, black and white are classics, terrazzo can be tinted in blue, pink, green or any other shade of your choice. For a truly original bathroom, don’t hesitate to have a made-to-measure model made!
Granito or terrazzo: what’s the difference?
Granito and terrazzo are often confused. Both have a very similar composition, since they are made of concrete and aggregates. The difference ? To make the granito, we mix the aggregates with the concrete before pouring it on the ground, while to make the terrazzo, we pour the concrete and add the aggregates. Both of these coatings work perfectly in the bathroom!
